Haifa Baha'i Gardens
Haifa Baha'i Gardens include nineteen gradual (terraces) gardens that start at the top of the Carmel mountain, and end at its feet. The main pivot that the gardens were planned around points toward Acre, which is a city with a great historical and religious significance for the Baha'i believers. In the heart of the gardens stands adorned with a dome of gold the Shrine of the Báb, where the remains prophet and forerunner of the Baha'i religion are buried.
The various parts of the gardens offer a variety of views and sensations, but all are uniform with the common language of gravel paths, trimmed bushes and flower patches tended to by a devoted landscaping staff. A magnificent panoramic view of the city, Galilee mountains and the Mediterranean sea can be seen from the gardens, and they about 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
Haifa Baha'i Gardens are open between 9:00 AM to 05:00 PM, seven days a week, but the internal gardens next to the Shrine of the Báb close at 12:00 PM. The gardens are closed during the Baha'i holidays and the Day of Atonement. During an inclement weather, the gardens may close temporarily, due to the risk of slipping on the wet paths.
A free guided tour in English, Hebrew and Russian takes place on a daily basis (except for Wednesdays).
